Amen to that. As I mentioned in one post. I agree that sickness is from Satan. I am walking by faith that I am supernaturally healed by His stripes according to the Word. I am learning daily to dismiss the physical signs and symptoms and to not lean on my own understanding. So my faith has made me whole. One of my favorite scriptures is MARK 11:22-24
22 And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.
23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.
24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.
So, that is what I am believing. The more I press into the Word, the more the enemy has attacked. But I know that I know God's Word is true. So I thank him daily for healing me despite circumstances.

I am si glad the hot discussion on the other group opened up people to visit this group. Thankyou and bess you I hope we can all be a support to one another.

Amen to both of you & I am glad you are both here to share with others too. Always remember that others will read this & not comment too so you are reaching more than just those that comment.
It is not only a blessing for those that read & comment but those who come & the words may make them question anything in their lives & thoughts.
Think of this whoever comments or writes & please continue to quote what helps you etc.

I did have a passage that helps me but can't remember the reference, it was basically that in his (God's) strength no burdens are too heavy & he would hold all of them. I know in his strength nothing is impossible.
If you know what the verse is I would appreciate it. I have had major memory loss due to major surgeries & medications which are very strong.

I went online searching and didn't find the exact verse, but I found something that hit home with me that I can share. Before I spent more time in the Bible learning God's word on healing and disease. I was so angry. I used to believe that the saying “God never gives you more than you can bear.”was actually in the Bible. Why would a loving God want me to bear MS? What did I do wrong? Hadn't I already had a hard enough life? Well I learned that the quote isn't even in the Bible. 1 Corinthians 10:13 says " No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it."

But this isn't about what we can bear. What Paul is saying is that they thought we were finished couldn’t handle it because it was beyond their own strength. And he says this to remind us that we should have confidence in God and not in ourselves. Our trials and sufferings are not a measure of how much we can bear and they are not tests sent by God to us, but rather places in which we encounter God.

So, a year ago I pressed in. determined to not get beaten down. I learned that disease is of the enemy. I was reminded Jesus is the same, yesterday, today, and forever. I learned God's will concerning healing and my faith has grown. The Joy of the Lord is my strength, I can do all things through Christ, Miracles are for today to, and he is my strength. I also learned that disease is of the enemy and came with the fall of Man. So daily I rebuke the MS that is in my body illegally and claim my healing according to 1 peter 2:24 and many other passages. The Word can not lie.

I am so glad to find you and connect more. I have tons on healing and the word. I am walking by faith and not by sight. Standing on God's promises for healing!

so do you think ms is the devil? i do. it has ruined many things in my life already. all i can think is that i must draw closer to God and fight this.

Yes. I believe all sickness is of the enemy. He comes to kill and destroy. God didn't create sickness. It came from the fall, I encourage you to press into the Word.

I do think that ms is from Satan. I think about Job when I go thru a flare. I find it interesting that God asked Satan if he'd considered His servant Job. More than once Satan attacked Job. Each time Job held fast to his faith, and in the end God rewarded Job for his faith. God rewarded Job not once, but twice. The first was when God suggested Job to Satan. Yeah, I know that sounds strange. God knew Job's faithfulness, and He trusted Job to make the right choices. I asked God for a long time, why me? He answered with this book. Now I say why not me?
Satan means the accuser. Satan knows in the end he will loose, and his goal is to take as many souls to hell as he can. He will accuse, he will attack and he will destroy as long as we let him. Being a follower of Christ means we have the ability to control what God has given us dominion over. Our bodies might not always be under our control but how we react to what our bodies do is. Being alive isn't easy. It's not supposed to be. We are living proof that we can do all things thru Christ who strengthens us.

That's so true. How we respond to our trials speaks volumes to others regarding our faith. Shortly before I found out that I had MS I was praying about a bunch of things and really felt the Lord speak to me saying I was going to go through a time of really bad news, but to keep my focus on Him and He would take care of everything. After that I got the diagnosis out of the clear blue (just happened to an MRI), several relationships fell apart, our church fell apart, had deaths in the family, etc. But I just kept remembering to keep my focus on God. It made all the difference.

God is so good and he is faithful to provide for all our needs. I am happier today than I have ever been, despite this lousy disease, pain, and daily struggles. It most certainly is His joy. How else could a person preserver. I have able bodied friends miserable. Their focus is on the world. They get no satisfaction. I love and pray for them. I am so excited about what God is going to do through this group. Thanks to all of you for your rich feedback. I appreciate you.
